How do you plan for August trip without hours posted?

[barbnjmom]

I booked my trip for Aug. 21-28th (staying at Pop Century-DM Package with Prince/Princess Add-on) but am having difficulty planning the Itinerary and Dining Reservations without knowing the actual park hours...any tips???

I am thinking since I have heard the parks are usually not as crowded I shouldn't have a huge problem getting the Dining reservations (Garden Grill, Sci Fi, Grand Floridian Brkf, AK Brkf, Chef Mickeys)....but not sure....

Thanks

I'm going the same week, staying at the Poly, and I was wondering the same thing!! I posted a question about when the hours come out for Aug, and someone replied about 60 days ahead. No good when you need to do PS 90 days ahead!

You can go to http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/hours.htm
and type in arrival and departure dates and get park hours based on 2003 to give you an idea. Subject to change but it's better than nothing.

I agree with thirdtrip, an estimate is better than nothing. I'll be going 8/29 to 9/5 and looked at the historical calendar and it gives a pretty good idea of what the park hours are going to be like. Since it is off season I don't think they change much.
